Chapter 1: The Call to Action

Recently, I had a conversation with my brother who expressed a desire to try surfing. This reminded me of the messages he sent me about visiting Nazaré, a place known for its enormous waves.

According to many surfers, the waves in Nazaré are distinct: they are heavier, more intense, and unpredictable in nature.

My brother shared a thought that inspired me greatly: “Te min geleef,” which translates to “haven’t lived enough.” This sentiment resonates deeply with me. Reflecting on my mother's words about her own regrets—wishing she had savored her youth more before settling down—adds to my understanding of this feeling.

One of my greatest fears is squandering my time on this planet. I perceive life as a valuable opportunity, a gift that deserves appreciation. I aspire to live without regret, and even the thought of deviating from that path saddens me.

Section 1.1: My Journey to Happiness

Throughout my time in Portugal, where I've lived for almost three years, I have sought joy and adventure.

I was drawn here by a desire to learn surfing, inspired by my brother and the book "Greenlights" by Matthew McConaughey. The idea of surfing symbolizes freedom, which is incredibly appealing.

After completing a Breatharian initiation in Tarifa, Spain, I decided to embark on a month-long surf holiday in Portugal. The pandemic hit shortly after, prompting me to extend my stay. Despite my initial enthusiasm, I realized that surfing wasn't for me.

Reasons for not continuing: It demands significant time, and I have other priorities. Although I am a proficient swimmer, I felt uneasy with a large surfboard in the ocean. Despite sailing across the Atlantic, the ocean's unpredictability while surfing was daunting. Additionally, the sun-drenched lifestyle of surfers didn't align with my preferences.

Section 1.2: Creating Unique Experiences

From the age of 18, I traveled extensively—over 35 countries—immerging myself in diverse experiences rather than brief visits. I sought enriching adventures, combining work with travel for both joy and financial stability. The ideas presented in Tim Ferriss’ "4-Hour Workweek" captured my attention in my early twenties.

I embraced mini-retirements throughout my life. When you aspire to something, only through action can you truly grow and understand your desires. Though I pursued surfing and ultimately did not continue, I gained invaluable insights about my preferences and capabilities.

Conclusion: The Path to a Regret-Free Life

Living without regret isn't about perfection; it's about experience.

Our hearts inherently know our passions. By maintaining a clear mind and a positive spirit, we can receive insights about our paths. Do not shy away from your excitement; it may not align with a preconceived plan, but it is essential to fulfilling your unique life purpose.

Every moment is invaluable. While you may have heard this countless times, truly embracing it can transform your existence into one filled with gratitude and wonder. The significance of life is defined by the meaning you assign it. When you appreciate life, it will be full of miraculous moments.

To live without regret means fully embracing life. How often have you hesitated to pursue something only to choose the safer route? While I have made numerous “mistakes,” I cherish each experience for the richness it brought me in understanding my likes and dislikes.

Honor your unique life path. Follow the call of your soul.
